The orientation program is geared toward briefing Student on what to expect and do while on teaching practice.

For anybody who attempted education course(s) either in a university or college of education must undergo "Teaching Practice". This is because it is an integral part of the major course towards certification. The aim of teaching Practice is to expose the students to practical teaching experience for “experience is said to be the best teacher".

The theoretical knowledge acquired by the students is to be demonstrated practically during teaching practice exercise given advice about what to look for, what to do and how to behave generally.

Hooper and Johnson (1973) argued that a major function of such experience is implementation of social control that by means of teaching practices, students are brought face to face with the realities of schooling and the conservation nature of the school system. However, before students go on teaching practice it is observed that most of them will be exercising one fear or another due to various reasons.

Student teachers normally think of how to teach for effective understanding by the pupil. Student teacher will think of how to cope with different behaviors of the students in the schools they are posted to.
